As tough as the government may be with income taxes, it may not be quite as bad as what Benedictine University's baseball team endured on April 15. The Eagles were not only defeated, 14-0, by rival Aurora University, but were also no-hit in the game (shortened to seven innings by the "mercy rule").
The loss dropped Benedictine to 10-14 overall and 5-4 in Northern Athletics Conference games.
Eagles starter James Callahan (2-3) took the loss after allowing eight runs, only three of which were earned. Callahan was victimized by BU's leather lapses with five errors in the game.
Meanwhile, AU counterpart Steve Salazar faced just two batters above the minimum after issuing a pair of walks in the no-hit game.
